@Pyoo suggested I try and pool all of this together, so why no? I'm not the creative type, so this post won't be really flash. Mostly just a list of things. There's more around, but I'd have to find them..... Spoiler: < First > Collaboration, Pyoo. https://soundcloud.com/hummingcanary/original-first-canary-osa < First > Tell me dear, what should I do? My heart grows cold, to think its true, Tell me love, how to stop the pain. the love we share, has it begun to wane? Let me cry, first~ Hold me close, first~ All I want from, you To put me, first~ All I wish, is to hear your voice. to know I'll always, be your first choice to be the one, always on your mind but was I a fool? or was I blind? Let me cry first~ Hold me close first~ All I want from you To put me first~ Maybe it's selfish, but I don't care If my heart is true, I don't want to share all I want, is your eyes on Me, for my love to be, the first you see. Let me cry first~ Hold me close first~ All I want from you To put me first~ Spoiler: < Untitled> Collaboration, Pyoo. (Pyoo) Our end was not a forced one It was an amicable signing of a truce Our end was not in any war It was in a cafe at the corner of the streets Our end was not in death it was in separation. (Osa) It was a slowly dying flame, Who's warmth gently faded. It was the changing of a season, the passing of time and changing leaves. It was something we both saw coming, but were to numb to stop from bearing fruit. (Pyoo) Now it whithers slowly Like your bouquet Petals falling gradually Like my tears Unhindered, unintentionally Like our hearts Crumbling quietly (Osa) Because it still aches like a wound, freshly open when your eyes land on another, like they once gazed at me. and I watch you gently drift away, like dry and crumbling leaves scattered by the autumn wind. Spoiler: Power of Words Power of Words: -------------------------- Life is a battle, and Words are our Blade. with each utterance A price will be paid some will be in tears and others by blood some will break a heart or stain it with mud They say sticks and stone are what we should fear that words are just words to ignore the jeer But how we forget a heart that was stirred by the cutting blade, of a hateful word. so do be careful as you live your day that you don't regret the words that you say Spoiler: Chances Chances ------------- Some times I wonder, About those I've left behind. and all the stories, we had yet to bring to life. As I sit here now, I can't help but think, "what if?" I'd taken that chance, not been stubborn and so stiff? But time is cruel and the choices that we make, will not come again for as from a dream, we'll wake and see the scars left from our fear and stubbornness of the chances wasted, blown away like morning mist. so If I could give but this one piece of advice it would be just this don't let your chance slip by Spoiler: Tunnel Vision Tunnel Vision --------------------- I once was told, for one to hold The Stars within your hands. it takes the will, to climb the hill, and reach for distant lands. and when at last my journey passed I looked the way I came I shook in fear, and wept a tear. I could not hide my shame along the way I did not stray My will was straight and true. yet in the end, I say my friend, I could not see the clue The truth was bare I'd missed it there, That Star along the way I could but weep and stomp my feet. I did not think to stay! and in my haste I missed the place I'd come to see I sought My heart was pained for where I aimed was not the place I thought! Spoiler: Rules Rules -------------- When I was but a little boy, My favorite word was "Why?" I thought I was a sneaky snake. No method I would not try. I screamed, I yelled, and did what I could, to earn that smack upside the head. And when I had at last simmered down. She would just sent me off to bed. For years in my old crooked heart, She was nothing but a witch She had though herself a queen when she was always just a *cough-cough-cough*! but when at last the time had come to strike out on my own I was lost without a clue, and longing for my home. And so after years of pain, I now count myself among the fools It was only at the end I learned, There is reason for the rules. Spoiler: Lock and Key Lock and Key ------------------- The young man asked his Master, "Why do you struggle on?" "What drives you to keep going, throughout the night to dawn?" The old master simply smiled, and gently pat his Head. Then with a sad tear in his eye, he looked down and said. "My Boy, I've seen it all. I've been from here to Timbuktu, I've seen the sun set on every land, and every ocean blue. I fought for what I thought was right, and the words I spoke were True. In that time, I came to a single truth, one I pass to you." "Every Soul and every Life, are bound by Chains of Fate. every man will one day feel their great and heavy Weight. some will drag the chains behind, caught on every stone. some will seek to hold them, to choose their will alone." "yet no matter what we try, we are all slaves to Fate's sway. but my child, don't you tremble, for there is another way. To every chain there's a lock, and to each lock, a Key. and when one grabs the Keys of Fate, then is he Free. The young man looked up with a questioning gaze, "but where can these keys be found?" The old master grinned and he stood up straight, then leaned his cane on the ground. "The Keys of Fate have been here the whole time", he said as he touched his Heart. "But don't think the journey ends, with the keys in hand. That is just the start." Spoiler: The Illusion of Distance The Illusion of Distance ----------------------------------- Distance is an illusion, born of the Heart Some surrounded by others, yet set apart. Some torn from loved ones, by the land, sea and time, Yet together always in each other's mind. Distance can be a poison, a barb upon the Soul. Allowed to run it's course, it will take a heavy Toll. Yet we must remember, we're not bound by time or space. When we think of those we love, Home is not just a place. Don't fall for the lies of Distance, that old twisted, sneaky snake In the end I'll stay beside you, what ever may come of Fate. Distance is an illusion, and although we may separate. No matter the miles between us, we are never far away Spoiler: Wings Wings ------------------- I'll tell the story of a bird, who wished to fly, to stretch his wings and touch the sky to kiss the Sun, as clouds pass by yet all he could do, was but watch and sigh His wings were broken and his feathers torn His mind was weary and his body worn as the song he sung hid the scars he bore, a coward’s soul, a heart forlorn. And although he knew, it was but in his mind, that all wounds will heal, if given their time. The past was over, should be cast aside, he’d turn his head or run and hide. Too afraid to step, through the open door! Content to watch, though wanting more!! His wings stretched wide, reached out to soar!!! ...but trapped in memories, of Wings clipped before. Spoiler: Uncertain Uncertain -------------- A man once was asked, "what is your greatest fears" and although the smile he wore was bright, in the corners of his eyes, there glistened tears he thought a while, and looked inside, and found stubbornness, thoughtlessness and a reckless and pointless pride But in end, the thing that hurt the most was the uncertainty of not knowing, If he had hurt those He had held close. The pain of not knowing was a burning dart a sharp blade cutting deep, and A barb thorned wire, wrapped around his heart. The words he long to say, couldn't appear, at the thought of uncertain wishes at the thought of words and hearts unclear As time passed, he told himself, "just wait" so when asked "what is his greatest fears?" He answered with "That I was too late." Spoiler: Thorns Thorns ------------- Beautiful is a Rose in full bloom and how its colors delight the soul but do beware of the pricking thorns for each careless touch will take a toll Its colors call out to those who see, and bring a light to their weary Heart but though its petals may stir the mind its thorns will sting as a burning dart and one who wants to reach out and touch although they may be but stung again can one day find their hand pulling back not wishing to remember the pain Spoiler: The Desire of a Thief The Desire of a Thief --------------------------------- When I first saw the Treasure It lit in me a pleasure one that I cannot measure when captured by its allure it lit a hot desire it lit a burning fire feelings unknown prior to any I'd felt before It took my breath away it made me want to stay Heart captive to its sway And yet Heart and Soul did War. For that which I thought to take that for which my heart did ache that which caused my mind to shake I found another already bore I then felt a dark temptation one to step beyond my station to abandon my foundation And it shook me to my very core. Wishing to take what wasn't mine a foot raised to cross the line mind drunk on yearning's wine and when I looked, I knew myself no more. So I but watched awhile though my throat filled with bile and forced myself to smile as a tear fell to the floor. Spoiler: The Words that I Say The Words that I Say --------------------------------- Though the words that I say may not always be great I do hope and I Pray you understand their weight though I stutter and frown though I poke and I prod yet still, you stuck around and for that, I thank God So when I say, "I'll stay" It's the least I can do even the price I'll pay I'll gladly pay for you. and these words that I say although they may be few when I said I would stay I hope you see they're true This, my wish and my Pride Is to call you my Friend. so I'll stick by your side, All the way to The End. Spoiler: Life's Road Life's Road ______________________________ Life is like a winding road, and along its twisting path, It'll always cross another's. Sometimes these crossroad meetings bring joy and light to the soul at other times, they will but end in pain and tears and scars But no matter what may come I will walk this path I've chose and no matter where it leads what joys or sorrows appear I will press onward, upward and so in my heart I'll hold memories of those passed by even if our roads never cross each other's path again I will cherish moments spent brief sparks of Warmth in the Cold. Spoiler: Hope Hope --------------- These Gentle words that try to hide a wounded heart and hated pride tears asking why you even tried scars, old and new, torn open wide. A false smile worn to hide the pain, tears washed away by pouring rain, paint and ink to cover the stain, yet every action done in vain. So many times we seem to fall Reach and struggle, yet feel so small Tossed about in the tempest squall Pointless fears kill a pleading call And then we find a little light A tiny spark to chase the night A bit of strength to fight the fight A ounce of joy that sets things right And when at last the valley ends And when at last we've made amends And when at last we've cleansed our sins We grap that light as long lost friends No longer lost along the way No longer led by dark thought's sway No longer in the darkness stay For light will turn your Night to Day Spoiler: Along the Road Along the Road. -------------------------- Side-by-Side, with a gentle soul the missing piece that makes a whole. who's Joys to share and Pains console. Hand-in-hand into the unknown. Wrapped tight in arms in fiercest gale, anchored strong through wave, rain and hail so bound as one, to never fail. Steady and strong, each other's Stone. and so along life's twisting road The will to bare each other's load the proof that in the end was showed, So fear no more. You're not alone. Spoiler: Pace Pace ----------- As we go about our day As we walk Life's narrow way we tend to worry, fear and stress feel the world's weight around us press and if we let it weigh us down, we exchange our smile for a frown. Our road becomes hard and long, forget to dance and lose our song So don't neglect to stop and rest if you're ever feeling stressed If duty pulls, tugs and strains Come rest awhile, lay down your chains. A struggle, life, may sometimes be But if you're longing to be free make sure to set a winning pace For slow but steady wins the race. Spoiler: Candlelight (Halloween Poem} Candlelight ------------------ Little Flame on Hallow's Eve For whom does your Candle grieve? Flame born on this darkest Night Lit to be a guiding light Dear precious one, lost and scared found your way when the fire flared It led you home, through the fear shown your way by those held dear My Dear, there's no need to roam Candlelight will lead you home though it hurts that you can't stay chase the light and find your way Spoiler: A Friend's Pledge ((This one still needs polishing)) Eyes that saw, when the world seemed blind Ears that heard when I spoke my mind I didn't know what it was I sought But I'm glad I found a friend so kind. Hands that wiped away a tear Words that sough to ease my fear No matter how I seemed to push Looking back, you were always near Heart that bled when I did fall Soul that cared when I felt so small when I though to hide away you came around and broke the wall. So to my friend, who stood with me through raging fires and stormy sea I make this pledge and seal it now I'll do the same, as you did for me. Spoiler: No Regrets. No Regrets ---------------------- Despite my Smile, Despite the Grin, I couldn't seem to let others in. this Heart of Glass was cracked before, so filled with scars that cried "No more!" When I reached out a pleading hand, old vows crumbled to shifting sand, Met with silence when questioned "Why?" In time I thought, "Why even try?" So sealed away a shattered heart, in walls of steel, hid every part. Until the armor that I wear I found was more than I could bear the world would see a shining Knight yet it hid a Man filled with Fright. But then one day, I met a friend Even if I didn't know it then. Though brash and loud, and sometimes Strange, bit by bit, I felt something change. and as I watched you, day by day I found myself wishing to stay The armor I'd wore for so long The walls I'd built and thought so strong You stripped them away piece by piece did what I couldn't and brought me peace. So even if I'm still afraid and scars still scream "You'll be betrayed!" I'll not regret that you're my Friend. So you're stuck with me to the end though sometimes I'm by old scars pained Greater is what from you I've gained. So even if I trip and fall No Regrets, it was worth it all. Spoiler: Little Seed in the Frost Little Seed in the Frost ----------------------------------- Winter's Frost, may first appear Cold and looming, sharp and drear but in her bosom, a fire burns asleep just beneath the chill. A seed slumbers, embraced by white Dreaming of the warmth and light How much longer must it slumber? How much longer must it wait? when the winter at last does fade when the seeds does finally trade Dreams and wishes for warmth and light what fruits will the seen bring forth? when at last, the seed does wake, what form will the flower take? Who will come across the bloom and take it to call their own? Spoiler: Chances I see her there everyday, and I wonder why I see him there everyday, and I wonder why Why she would smile, at such a man as I. Even when I smile, he never says Hi. But even still, I feel my heart begins to pound But even still, His blazing eyes, my words confound As Her smile dims the world, and drowns out all the sound. and In their heat, I find mine own slip to the ground. And as we draw closer, with each step we take. And as we draw closer, with each step we take. I can't help but think if the smiles fake. and I feel my heart begin to shake So in silence, She passes me by. Thus in silence, He passes me by. In my heart, I can't help but sigh. And I feel like I want to cry. Maybe if I'd read between the lines Why couldn't I just step out of the lines Maybe if I'd only seen the signs Why couldn't we just speak our minds? Maybe if I'd thought to ask, Why couldn't I put down the mask? I wouldn't have to say Goodbye... I don't want to say Goodbye... Spoiler: A Painting A relationship is a painting, made from me and you. And each new stroke of our brush, reveals a vibrant hue. Our souls are the canvas, and our memories the paint. Each line is a moment, be they bold or thin and faint With each new line that's added, I learn more of who you are Of every smile and bright day, of every tear and scar. Even if we sometimes clash, on what we wish to show The beauty your brush reveals, is all I want to know. Words may sometimes fail me, and you may seem so far away Yet I wanted you to know, I've loved each and every day So even if its true, our painting may one day cease. On each other's canvas, of our selves we'll leave a piece. A tapestry woven, from the memories we share. A never fading beauty, the proof of love and care.
Ignorance is bliss They strive for nothing Hoping for something, in cause for everything. They live the life of foolishness Viewing the unreal with hope Optimism at its finest. Truly laughable.
